What is 0700 in military time?

0700 is 7:00 AM on the 12-hour clock, and 07:00 on the civilian 24-hour clock. It is spoken aloud as zero seven hundred hours” — never “7 o'clock”, and never with a colon in the written form.

The hour is under 12, so nothing is subtracted. 7 stays 7, and the time is AM.

Written down it is four digits with no separator and no AM or PM: 0700. The first two digits are the hour, the last two are the minutes, and the minutes are ordinary minutes — 0745 would be 7:45 AM.

Where 0700 sits in the day

0700 is 7 hours into the day and 17 hours from the next midnight. In the watch system it falls in the morning watch, the block that starts the working day. Reveille, first formation and shift handovers all land here, which is why these are the times most often written on a rota that someone has to read half awake.

The hours either side

Three hours in each direction, since the value you are checking is usually next to the one you actually need.

Everything else on the 24-hour clock

The full chart lists every hour and half hour from 0000 to 2330 and prints on one page — that link jumps straight to the 0700 row. For a value that is not on a half hour, the military time converter takes anything you type in either direction, including 7:00 AM and 0700.

If what actually tripped you up was midnight versus noon rather than this hour, the 12 AM vs 12 PM explainer covers why the 12-hour clock cannot settle that question on its own.
